    Canadians Have a Shaky Start to 2002 Winter Games

    Canadians have never needed banana peels as a cure for rare displays of over-confidence; ice works well enough. It was ice last week on the speed-skating oval and in Salt Lake City's figure-skating arena that momentarily flattened Canada's self-described "best ever" Winter Olympic team.This article was originally published in Maclean's Magazine on February 25, 2002

    Canada's Forgotten Baseball History

    Baseball has much deeper roots in Canada than most people realize. Baseball was once so popular in Canada that there was even talk of making it our national sport. The story goes back far enough. The first game was played in Beachville, Ontario, about 40 km east of London, on 4 June 1838, with a ball of twisted yarn covered in calfskin and a club carved from cedar. In the audience was a battalion of Scottish volunteers on their way to mop up the remnants of the Upper Canada Rebellion. This baseball game took place seven years before the founding of the first American baseball team, New York’s Knickerbocker Base Ball Club.

    Canals and Inland Waterways

    These 2 great journeys were first made just before the end of the 18th century, and by the same man. Alexander Mackenzie reached the mouth of the river which now bears his name in 1789, and was the first European to cross the North American continent (to Bella Coola) in 1793.

    Candy Bar Protest

    The Candy Bar Protest, also known as the Five Cent War, Candy Bar War, Candy Bar Strike, or the Chocolate Candy Bar Strike, was a protest that took place in the spring of 1947. Children in numerous Canadian cities organized public protests or boycotts against the rise of chocolate bar prices (see Confectionery Industry). The protest was generally well-received by the Canadian public, but it fell apart after unsubstantiated allegations that the effort was backed by communists. (See also Communist Party of Canada.)
